Devious Intimacy combines a sly, playful wit with a melancholic tenderness to navigate between the private world of love and sexuality and more public forms of connection.  From Abstract Expressionism to Test Cricket, Vickery's poetry delves into that which delights and intrigues us, both celebrating and critiquing our everyday routines and aesthetic modes of reception.  Wry, smart, and bristling with acute observation, Devious Intimacy is a beguiling mix of charm and charge.

'This is arrestingly incarnated poetry diffused with female luminosity.'— Pam Brown
